Customisable recipes: Swap your protein or carb

Following the exciting news that customisable recipes are now available on the Hello Chef menu, here’s a round-up of the dishes (and their alternatives) that you can expect to see over the coming weeks. 

What are customisable recipes? 

Put simply, our customisable recipes allow Hello Chef customers to swap a protein or carb for an alternative. This might be a swap from chicken to prawns, or cauliflower rice to regular rice. We hope this will allow customers to have more flexibility in their meal choices and increased variety on a weekly basis. Remember, you can make a swap to your recipe at no extra cost!
